‘‘Water is a precious resource and the Haryana Government is committed to conservation, preservation and demand management for future generations of Haryanavis. Guided by the vision of the Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, we are making best possible efforts to optimise utilisation of water resources, promote use of treated water, set up rain water harvesting structures and adopt ground water recharging techniques.”
- Manohar Lal
If there is water, there is life. Water, rightly called the elixir of life by Dr. C V Raman, is the most important natural resource on the earth to sustain all forms of life. Given its paramount importance and the hard and harsh reality that it is a limited resource, water needs to be used judiciously.
This hypothesis gets doubly underscored in the context of Haryana where nearly 60 percent of the ground water is brackish and unfit for human consumption. Conscious of the grave reality and great need to address the issues of limited availability of water resources and the quality of water, the Manohar Lal Government has come out with an overarching policy on water conservation with emphasis on reuse of the treated water.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
